National Workshop on Farmer – Led Innovations

Introduction

Agriculture is one of the oldest professions practiced over 5000 years. In their pursuit for betterment, the

Indian farmers consistently tried to make this occupation more efficient and cost effective which resulted in

numerous innovations over the generations and helped in improving farming practices ensuring better livelihood

options. Obviously, these innovations supported food security of the country. The farmers identified a number of

new/indigenous traditional crops and developed varieties with enhanced productivity and better quality through

selection. Farmers also developed low cost processing technologies for value addition, increased shelf-life and

better marketability for various farm products. In addition, a number of farm implements and tools were

designed and manufactured by the farmers to increase operational efficiency and productivity. In this context,

commendable work has been done by women farmers, especially in the area of germplasm conservation, post-

harvest management and value addition which helped in enhancing the farm income. Most of the farming

practices traditionally adopted by the farmers are those which were evolved after long experiences of the farmers

and communities under specific agro-climatic and socio-economic conditions. Therefore, such practices have

been widely adopted and are sustained.

In fact, farmers are silently innovating, adopting the new practices and continuously improving them.

These farmer-led innovations, over generations, have neither been duly recognized nor documented. Also the

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) on the innovations made by farmers have often been ignored. Value of

traditional knowledge and its documentation has often remained unnoticed by scientists. As a result, many

technologies developed by innovative farmers have not reached to other farmers.

Of late, the focus of the Government, planners and scientists has been on tapping the intellect of the

farmers so that Indian farming become more sustainable, remunerative and globally competitive. In order to

scale-up farmer- led innovations, which are valuable in many ways, it has become necessary to identify the

potential farmers-led innovations, followed by their validation and refinement. It is felt that blending of

traditional knowledge with modern science and technology is necessary to revamp agriculture and also to ensure

sustainable growth and development in this sector. This has necessitated “bottom up” approach in which farmers’

participation in reorienting research and outreach programmes have to be ensured and recognized. The slogan

“Science with Farmers FIRST” is the most appropriate indeed as it will give new stimulus to farmer participatory

research and extension in achieving the future nutritional and food security goals.

In this endeavor, efforts have been made at various levels in the past by the “Trust for Advancement of

Agricultural Sciences (TAAS)”, New Delhi, by organizing workshops on Farmer Led Innovations, in which

scientists and research managers were participants and farmers as the resource persons. This initiative made

scientists aware of the innovative capacities of the farmers and led to recommendation that more of such

interactions be organized to encourage innovative farmers. This Workshop also helped in the assessment of

1

specific needs for large scale testing and adoption of promising technologies developed by the farmers for the

benefit of various stakeholders.

Considering the emerging need to document and promote farmer-led innovations, it was decided jointly

by ICAR, Haryana Kisan Ayog, CCS HAU, TAAS, PPV&FRA and NIF to organize a national workshop on

“Farmer Led Innovations”. The workshop was organized on December 23-24, 2011 at CCS HAU, Hisar, to rdcoincide with the Farmers’ Day, the 23 December, 2011 and the birthday of Late Chaudhary Charan Singh, a

farmer leader and former Prime Minister of India.

This two-day Workshop was planned with the following objectives:

i) To identify farmer-led innovations which can be adopted for larger impact

ii) To understand specific research needs for further verification, refinement and validation through

blending of traditional knowledge with modern science

iii) To assess the need for required policy interventions by which innovations could be scaled up for

larger impact.

The participants of this workshop were innovative farmers (20) covering ICAR awardees from all over

India, progressive farmers (58) from Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, senior research managers,

scientists and technical staff (220) of ICAR, Haryana Kisan Ayog, Ministry of Agriculture, other academic

institutions, SAUs, TAAS, PPV&FRA, NIF, NGOs, and Private Sector.

The two-days “National Workshop on Farmer – Led Innovations” was inaugurated by the Hon’ble

Chief Minister of Haryana, Dr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda on the eve of “Kisan Diwas” on 23rd December, 2011,

the birthday of the great farmer leader and former Prime

Minister of India, Late Ch. Charan Singh, at Indira

Gandhi Auditorium, CCS HAU Hisar. The session was

presided over by Dr. S. Ayyappan, Secretary, DARE and

Director General, ICAR. The other dignitaries on the

(vi) To document innovative technologies and indigenous knowledge for their long term benefits to the

society

(vii) To further refine and out-scale innovations for their greater impact and utilization for sustainable

progress of agriculture in the State.

Dr. S. Ayyappan, DG, ICAR & Secretary DARE, in his

presidential address appreciated the initiatives taken by

the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Haryana, for establishment

of Haryana Kisan Ayog. This initiative will go a long

way in reorienting planning with regard to revamping

agriculture in the state. The efforts being made by the

Haryana Kisan Ayog in collaboration with CCS Haryana

Agricultural University and line departments of State

Govt. were appreciated by Dr. Ayyappan. He opined that

the involvement of innovative farmers in our research

and development pursuits has become necessary for

their mature and innovative ideas about the basic needs of the farmers to make agriculture and allied occupations

cost-efficient and sustainable. Therefore, their skills must be identified and utilized for betterment of agriculture.

Padam Bhushan Dr R. S. Paroda, Chairman, Haryana

Kisan Ayog, apprised the Hon’ble Chief Minister,

Haryana and the participants about the initiatives taken

and the recommendations made by the Ayog. He

expressed that the Ayog works on the “Farmers First”

slogan, and has accordingly prepared working group

farmers graced the occasion. The innovations included

small modern machines, varieties of pickles, jams,

jellies, baby corn, mushroom, basmati rice, fruits,

vegetables, flowers, etc. The depiction of these

innovations of the farmers through excellent exhibits attracted the attention of planners, science managers,

scientists, entrepreneurs, farmers and other participants of the Workshop.

Out of several exhibits demonstrated by the

innovative farmers from different states, the stalls of

Krishna Pickles comprising 84 varieties of pickles with

beautiful packaging attracted the attention of the

visitors. Being an illiterate couple from Uttar Pradesh

with small holding of land, they started making pickle

just 1.5 kg/day. Currently, they are having one factory

for pickle preparation and four retail shops in Gurgaon,

Ghaziabad, Faridabad and Delhi with a turnover of more

than one crore per annum.

Sh. S. Muthuswami from Tamil Nadu has

developed and demonstrated hand operated milking machine costing just Rs. 4500/-. It takes 6-8 minutes of time

to milk an animal. It is suitable for small dairy farmers having 2-3 milch animals. He has already sold over 100

such milking machines to the farmers.

Sh. Kanwal Singh Chauhan from Sonepat, Haryana demonstrated innovative technologies for the

6

production of quality baby corn and mushroom in Haryana. Several other farmers have been benefitted by this

crop diversification in the State and the country.

The Business Planning and Development Unit, CCSHAU, Hisar also demonstrated commercializable

technologies developed by the university and became a point of attraction for farmers as well. The PPV & FRA

made available copies of various registration forms and related literature for plant variety protection and farmers’

rights to all stake-holders. Haryana Kisan Ayog provided literature with regard to the activities being taken up by

the Ayog.

Five technical sessions were conducted in this Workshop. Proceedings of these sessions and the

recommendations emerging out of the various presentations and discussions are given in the following sections.

Panelists Dr. B. S. Dhillon

Sh. Harpal Singh

Rapporteurs Dr. A. M. Narula

Dr. R. B. Srivastava

In this session seven farmers made presentations and gave their views as under:

Sh. Bhagwan Dass from Young Farmers’ Association, Punjab, felt the need of capacity building of small

and marginal farmers and suggested that block and village level agricultural officers should have more

interaction with the target groups. He was of the view that KVKs should also increase their outreach

programmes. He remarked that marketing of variety of high value and low volume agricultural products

produced through diversification of agriculture was different and therefore, government should develop a

strategy to support farmers in marketing of their produce at profitable MSP.

Sh. Virender Singh, young farmer from Haryana, was of the opinion that intercropping of

onion/wheat/mustard/muskmelon in sugarcane based cropping system could provide high returns to farmers. He

has been following this system for the last 4-5 years on his farm. He narrated that the direct seeded rice (DSR)

technology saved 15 to 20 % of irrigation water and also helped in reducing labour cost for rice cultivation.

However, the technologies related to control of Makara grass and other weeds in this system need further

research to help DSR farmers.

Sh. Sudhir Chadha from Nainital Distt, Uttarakhand, apprised the participants about horticultural

technologies developed by him under Indo- Dutch Project. Intercropping of papaya with shade loving crops viz.

pumpkin, turmeric, ginger, gladiolus etc. was useful in increasing the farm income. He also listed the benefits of

protected cultivation. In view of emerging markets of organic produce in metro-cities, the knowledge of farmers

must be upscaled on this aspect of crop production including simplified procedure for certification and

marketing of organic produce. He emphasized the need for supply of quality planting material of vegetables and

fruits to the needy farmers at cheaper rates at their door step by SAUs/ICAR institutes of the country.

Sh. Sunda Ram from Rajasthan, a national awardee and known for the development of low input

technologies, suggested that farmers must avoid mono-culture. They must include fruit crops, vegetables and

pulses in their cropping system for food and nutritional security and also to maintain the good soil health. He

explained about cost effective water saving devices for tree plantation and termite control (by putting the pieces

of Eucalyptus woods between cropped rows) in dry land areas which can be validated and promoted by the

KVKs. He also suggested the farmers to come forward for registration of germplasm and farmers varieties with

NBPGR, New Delhi and PPV & FR Authority, respectively. He has registered several local varieties as

germplasm with the NBPGR, New Delhi.

Sh. P. Narayanan Unny from Kerala made presentation on “Navara” cultivation which is a non-

traditional rice and has enormous medicinal value. He was of the opinion that the farmers can earn more profits

by cultivation of non-traditional crops if the government upscales their capacities in terms of infra-structure

development, processing, training and marketing. In his opinion, high value products can be developed from

most non-traditional indigenous food crops.

Sh. Sudhir Agarwal from Mathura U. P. suggested the farmers to adopt seed business to increase their

income. However, he felt the need for supply of quality seeds of new varieties/ hybrids in the shortest possible

time and training for their further multiplication by the NGO’s or SHGs to help the farmers. According to him, the

well managed piggery, goatery and dairy farming also generate higher farm employment and net returns per unit

investment. However, there is a need to provide sexed semen and pedigree bulls of different types of livestock at

cheaper rates at doorsteps to help farmers rearing various types of such animals. He was of the opinion that more

such events of farmer-scientist interactions should be organized in future also in other states.

Maj. Manmohan from Amritsar, Punjab appealed the farming community to adopt diversification in

agriculture. He emphasized the importance of drip irrigation, vermi-culture and intercropping of a variety of high

value low volume crops in orchards. He emphasized the need that farmers should have units of vermi-

composting and water harvesting devices on their own farms for sustaining good soil health and higher returns

from diversified agriculture.

Dr. B. S. Dhillon, Vice Chancellor, Punjab Agriculture University, Ludhiana, advised the scientists to

initiate research on non-traditional crops in view of their importance in present day context. Innovative farmers

could be used as resource persons for technology transfer and should be given opportunity to interact with

scientists.

Mr. Harpal Singh, a farmer from Kurukshetra, while participating in the discussion as a panelist,

emphasized the need for large scale frontline demonstrations of the latest technologies, through KVKs, for

creating awareness among the stakeholders. He requested the authorities to provide incentives to innovative

farmers and frame suitable policies and create proper infra structure facilities for validation of their technologies.

Remarks of Co-chairs

In his concluding remarks, the Chairman Dr. S. Ayyappan congratulated all the speakers for sharing their

vast experiences in crop improvement and crop diversification. He remarked that it was highly encouraging,

especially to listen to the views and experiences of the farmers and emphasized the need to organize such

interactive sessions frequently on regular basis in different parts of the country. He suggested that other states

should also come forward to organize such types of seminars/workshops. On this occasion, he offered the

“Visiting Professorship” to Sh. Sunda Ram and position of “Senior Scientist” to Sh. Virender Singh at any ICAR

Institute of their choice for six months duration. ICAR will initiate a scheme in this regard, not only to encourage

the innovative farmers, but also to utilize their wisdom and experiences for framing the policies related to

orientation of current research and extension activities for the development of agriculture in the country.

Sh.Roshan Lal, IAS emphasized the need for establishing innovative funds in different states for the farmers to

support their initiatives as has been announced by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Haryana for the State. He further

suggested for the development of technology validation facilities for farmer innovations by the Department of

Agriculture and SAUs. He was of the view that Conservation Agriculture (CA) based technology including DSR

are showing encouraging results in Haryana. However, he suggested to the scientists to generate sufficient data

on DSR technology including control of Makara grass and other weeds and pests in this system to make it more

farmers’ friendly.

In this session five farmers made presentations and gave their views as under:

Sh. B. Mohan, a progressive farmer from Tamil Nadu described the livestock/poultry/fisheries based

mixed farming system approach under 90% rainfed area in Tamil Nadu. He suggested that fodder production,

balanced feeding, farm mechanization, timely prevention and control of diseases, value addition and adopting

proper marketing strategy are key factors for the success of livestock based mixed farming system.

Sh. Baljit Singh Redhu, a progressive dairy and poultry farmer from Haryana emphasized that with the

adoption of scientific farming techniques, poultry and dairy farming are quite profitable for farmers of the State.

He stated that the State Government has launched a number of new schemes for the benefit of livestock farmers.

He further added that the cross breeding by making use of imported quality semen of proven bulls in cattle,

balanced feeding, efficient management and adoption of improved management practices are essential for

maximization of farm returns.

Technical session II: Livestock, Poultry and Fisheries

Sh. Sultan Singh, a progressive fresh water fish farmer from Haryana emphasized that fresh water fish

farming opens an economically viable farming system in the state for rural self-employment. He opined that

value added product development and marketing will be helpful in increasing economic returns. He suggested

that proper feed and winter stress management and making use of floating feed makes it feasible to harvest up to 9

ton/ha of fish.

He further emphasized that proper infrastructure for better management of low temperature stress in cold

winter is highly lacking with fish farmers of Haryana which inhibit the farmers from taking a good fish harvest

during winter months. Credit and other facilities such as water and electric charges on par with agriculture should

also be extended to the fish farmers of the Haryana State.

Sh Dev Narain Patel, a renowned honey bee farmer from Uttar Pradesh, having 180 boxes and

producing about 400 qt. of unprocessed honey annually suggested that by adopting proper crop rotations

matching with the availability of flowers will help to harvest maximum honey per colony and by adopting

primary processing of honey and proper marketing strategy will ensure handsome returns to honey bee farmers.

Sh. Umesh Sood, an animal welfare volunteer from Himachal Pradesh, created an institution for rearing

milk producing and non-producing stray cattle. According to him the cow rearing is not only profitable for milk

production but also to get other byproducts, viz biogas, vermi-compost, “PANCHGAVYA”, Amrat Pani,

alternative pest control formulations and other products which can be prepared from cow dung/urine and sold in

the market for better economic returns from organic farming.

After listening to the farmers, the panelists expressed their views as under:

Dr. A. K. Srivastava, Director, NDRI Karnal emphasized that livestock sector in Haryana was

contributing about 30% of State Agricultural GDP and food security. Murrah buffalo is the most preferred dairy

animal due to its better feed conversion and nutrient utilization efficiency. Milk quality was much superior in

respect of fat, sugars and protein content in comparison to cow milk.

He further underlined the important points in buffalo rearing such as appropriate estrus diagnosis,

balanced nutrition as per requirements of the animals, mastitis management in high yielders, quality feed and

fodder availability, FMD vaccination twice a year and timely prevention of other diseases was required for

enhanced milk production and income of the dairy farmers.

In his concluding remarks, Dr. Hardeep Kumar, IAS & Vice Chancellor LLRUVAS appreciated the

achievements and risk bearing ability of the dairy farmers. He emphasized that the livestock sector needed to be

given due attention by the policy planners for attaining required national growth targets for agricultural sector.

He elaborated that in near future, Electronic chip identification system for superior Murrah buffaloes will be

introduced in Haryana. He advocated that the progressive farmers should encourage other farmers in their close

vicinity to adopt improved feed management and other technologies for increasing livestock production and

productivity in order to increase their household income.

In this session, seven farmers made their presentations and expressed their views as under:

Sh. Kanwal Singh Chauhan, a farmer from village Aterna Distt. Sonepat, narrated his experiences on

the introduction of basmati rice in 1980, mini dairy in 1984 and bio-gas in 1987. In 1987, he came in contact with

KVK, Sonepat and started growing baby corn, exotic vegetables, preparing vermi-compost, bee keeping,

mushroom production, sweet corn and hybrid seed production of baby corn and paddy. He revealed his success

story of baby corn. Sh. Chauhan established his own processing unit for baby corn at his farm which fetched him

a good income. He informed the audience that about Rs 70 thousand to 1 lac income from one acre of baby corn,

and from Rs 50-70 thousand/acre from sweet corn could be achieved. The leftover stalks of baby corn were fed

to animals as green fodder which improved their health and milk production. He had established integrated unit

of mushroom cultivation under NHM alongwith a unit of honey bee production. Shri Chauhan has also set up a

Bio-Tech Unit of Bio-fertilizers. He has started a farmer school, and trainees from Bihar and farmers from Nepal

took training at his school. Dignitaries from India and farmers from Afghanistan and Germany have visited his

farm and were highly impressed by his multi-enterprise innovative agricultural technology.

Sh. Vikas Kumar Chaudhary, a farmer from Taraori, Distt. Karnal of Haryana, has formed a society on

“Conservation of Natural Resources and Empowering Rural Youth”. He has been adopting zero-tillage

technology for the last 10 years and had started sowing wheat by using Turbo Seeder since 2010-11. This

technology avoids burning of paddy straw, allows fewer weeds to grow and saves energy. He further informed

that the direct seeding of rice saved about 15-20 per cent of irrigation water. He also pin-pointed that relay mung

in rice-wheat cropping system was successful and about 2.5 quintals of mung per acre could be harvested with

this technology. He suggested that to meet early requirements of fodder, berseem could be grown with dual

purpose wheat in the last week of October and its first cut could be taken after 55 days of sowing. This practice

gave him an additional income of Rs. 5000/- per acre. He further informed that 25 field days had been organized

at his farm and one Ph.D. student from CCSHAU, Hisar was also working in collaboration with CIMMYT on the

effect of DSR and transplanted rice on methane gas emission. He highlighted the importance of flow of

information and underlined that their society was being helped by KVK of CCSHAU, Hisar and CIMMYT

scientists to popularize CA based technologies at his farm.

Technical Session III: Integrated Crop Management

11

Sh. Ramesh Dagar, a farmer from district Sonepat, Haryana highlighted the importance of marketing of

multi-enterprise based farm produce. He demonstrated that integrated farming system comprising dairy,

mushroom, bio-gas, vermi-composting, fish farming, nursery raising and beekeeping for small farmers having

2.5 acres of land was employment generating and profitable. He claimed that a net income of Rs 10-12 lacs from

one hectare holding could be achieved by adopting multi-enterprise based integrated farming system approach.

Sh. Amarjeet Singh Dhillon, a farmer from village Bargani, Punjab, explained the importance of crop

diversification. His crop diversification practice included growing fruits (guava, kinnow, grapes) and

vegetables (capsicum, bottle gourd) and cotton. He demonstrated the benefits of year round assured income

model from Agro-horticulture system.

Sh. Gurcharan Singh, a farmer from village Brass, Distt. Karnal, Haryana narrated about his experience

with quality seed production of paddy, wheat, gram, peas and berseem. By multiplication of the quality seeds of

these crops, he is earning 1.5 to 2 times more income over the conventional crop production.

Sh. Gudiwada N. Naidu, a farmer from Andhra Pradesh, described his experience with sustainable

agriculture through crop diversification and organic farming. He has been growing field crops, vegetables and

fruits organically for the last 24 years. He further narrated about the technology of system of rice intensification

(SRI) in which 15.0 tons per ha yield from first crop and 10 tons from ratoon rice crop was obtained. He also

informed that drum seeding method of rice sowing was highly water saving and economical practice. To control

weeds under SRI, Cono-weeder was used successfully. In his opinion, the technology of Cono-weeder should be

further improved and mechanized to help small farm holders using SRI based technology.

Sh. Atam Swaroop, a farmer from village Mahok, Himachal Pradesh, revealed his experiences about

cultivation of flowers as a fortune changers on his 2.5 ha land. He is growing various types of flowers throughout

the year in poly-houses. He informed that an income of Rs 1.5-8.5 lacs per acre was achieved by growing various

types of flowers. He was facing the problem of availability of good quality planting material/seeds of various

flowers and requested the SAUs and ICAR Institutes to help the farmers in this regard.

After listening to the experiences of the farmers, the panelists expressed their views as under:

Dr. V.P. Singh Ex-Director Research, CCS HAU remarked that there was no alternative to holistic

approach of integrated crop management to attain higher income from agriculture. He also suggested

establishment of agro-based units of integrated farming system alongwith processing and marketing intelligence

cell at the SAUs to help farmers.

Sh. Balbir Singh, farmer from village Shyadwa, Distt. Hisar, Haryana mentioned that a straw-berry

grower can earn an income of Rs.5-6 lacs per year. However, there was the problem of getting quality planting

material and marketing of their produce. He suggested that a processing unit for straw-berry be established at the

production site around Hisar to help the straw-berry farmers in the State.

Dr. P.L. Gautam, remarked that the farmers have reported that they face problems in getting loans and

hence, the process needed simplification. He pointed out that there was need to encourage establishment of

small cooperative societies or self help groups at village level for collecting, grading and marketing of produce.

Based on the success story of Sh. K.S. Chauhan and Sh. Ramesh Dagar, he opined that diversified farming was a

hope for future generations. He highlighted the need for suitable arrangements for timely availability of quality

seeds and planting material by the SAUs and Horticulture Departments to help and benefit the farmers.

Dr. A.M. Narula, suggested that the farms of progressive farmers be listed and recognized as Centres of

Excellence for master training and demonstration by the SAUs and ICAR.

In this session five farm women made their presentations which were mainly based on their success

stories who expressed their views as under:

Mrs. Krishna Yadav, a resident from U.P., was earlier working in a farm house in Najafgarh, Delhi as a

laborer. Thereafter, she started growing vegetables on leased land and was selling them with the help of her

husband on road side. Both she and her husband were illiterate but after participating in the trainings on

preservation of fruits and vegetables organized by KVK, IARI, Delhi, she started preparing a variety of pickles,

murabbas and chutneys on a small scale. Slowly, she opened her own shop in Delhi. Currently, she is an owner of

a factory and 4 shops in the NCR and preparing 84 types of different products and earning good returns from

pickle industry. She is marketing her product branded as “Krishna Pickles” in Delhi, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Noida

and other cities in NCR region. She gave the message to other farmers that with sincerity, determination and hard

work nothing is impossible, if you have a strong will and focused target.

Mrs. Neelam Tyagi, a resident from U.P. and Secretary, Laxmi Jan Kalyan Sewa Sansthan, has been

working in the areas of rural health, agriculture and education since 1999. She is working on a variety of agro-

based enterprises including agriculture, gardening, fishery, dairy, livestock and also interacting with KVKs. She

has taken lead by forming 300 Farmers’ Clubs and 200 SHGs and encouraged them to follow community

farming and joint cooperative marketing. She has taken lead in educating women farmers and encouraging them

to go for soil testing for optimization of fertilizer use in agriculture. Her sincere efforts towards community

based agriculture have contributed a lot in augmenting the net income of farmers. This concept of community

farming and marketing was lauded by Dr. Kokate and other participants.

Mrs. Sudesh Malik, a resident of Nidana village of Jind district (Haryana), has acted as a leader to

Technical Session IV: Women in Agriculture

13

initiate “Women Agriculture School” in her village. Through this school, she inculcated knowledge regarding

insects and pests of various crops and taught farm women about their identification as beneficial and harmful

categories, including their predators for better pest management in different crops. She also prepared teaching

aids covering these aspects. The farmers have been benefited by avoiding excessive use of pesticides and sprays

at their farms. The women SHG further extended this knowledge among school children. She suggested that in

Govt. plans, special training programmes for farm women on all the aspects ranging from sowing to farm

management should be included. Women can learn everything if taught with full sincerity. The Chairman pointed

out that Mrs. Malik had created an example of teaching skills in a simplified form even for a complex subject like

Entomology.

Mrs. Sulochana Nehra a resident of Sunderheti village of Jhajjar district in Haryana has 28 acres of

land. She has been pursuing integrated farming including flower production, dairy, silage making and biogas

production since last five years.

She got constructed a community water tank for rain water harvesting with the help of other farm women

to store 55 lakh litres of water and using it, by drip irrigation, for irrigating different crops. She also requested the

Chairman, Dr. Kokate to provide financial support and training in processing and marketing of their produce in

the market.

Last speaker was Mrs. Geeta Rana from Sirsa, Haryana. She was hesitant in making her presentation

before large gathering. On her behalf, Dr. R. S. Sheokand from KVK, Sirsa apprised the house of her

achievements. She was living in poverty but now she is owner of 4 buffaloes and is earning Rs 2.50 lakh annually

and has set an example for other illiterate and poor women.

The Chairman, Dr. Kokate also allowed other farmers, namely Sh. M.N.P. Shivakumaran Mahaswami,

Sh. Sriniwas Rao, Sh. Ramesh Chauhan, Sh. Hukum Singh, Sh. Satyawan Dagar and Sh. Raj Tyagi to share their

views on their innovations. Sh. Sriniwas Rao, gave an example of enhancement of fertility of soil by

incorporating poultry manure. He also shared his modified technologies which he has developed for pesticide

spray. Sh. Daljeet of Tokas, Hisar, came in contact with KVK staff in 2006-07 and selected and multiplied

seedless quality lemon. He is getting 2.5-3.0 quintal lemons from 25 plants. Everyone was impressed to see the

bunch of 25 lemons on a twig brought by the farmer. Sh. Hukum Singh suggested that rates of improved seeds

should be fixed in consultation with farmers as prices of inputs are increasing very fast. Sh. Ramesh Chauhan

told the house that he had grown a cauliflower weighing 12 Kg and 6 ft long bottle gourd by using organic manure

only.

Mrs. Indira Bishnoi, Ex- member of Board of Management, CCS HAU expressed her views on the

contribution of women in agriculture and requested authorities to arrange tours for farm women to different

research centers and farms of innovative farmers. She also requested scientists to develop gender specific farm

implements and machinery. In reply to her concern, Dr. Sudesh Gandhi, through power point, presented some

women friendly technologies which were generated by the Department of Family Resource Management, IC

College of Home Science, CCSHAU, Hisar.

Remarks by the Panelists

Remarks of Co-chairs

After hearing the views of farm women, the panelists expressed their views as below:

Dr. Indu Sharma commented that, though, women participation in agriculture was very evident but they

had not been given decision making power. Women have always to fight for their rights. She also emphasized the

need to generate more and more women friendly equipments and technologies. She said that it was high time now

when efforts are needed to change the mindset of people towards women. Therefore, it was the prime duty of

mothers to develop leadership qualities among girls while bringing them up.

Mrs. Binder Pal Kaur from Punjab gave an example of her success story on Bee Keeping which she was

pursuing under the guidance of KVK. She had extended her work and now besides fifteen members of her family,

other poor and needy women were also working with her. She suggested to the delegates to present honey to their

friends and relatives instead of sweets as it was healthy and nutritious than sweets.

Dr. Krishna Srinath gave a brief presentation on drudgery reducing technologies developed

specifically for farm women. She emphasized the need to empower women. She recommended that for

sustainable agriculture, it was important to do gender mainstreaming through public-private partnership.

In his concluding remarks, Dr. B.S Duggal congratulated all the speakers for sharing their experiences in

agriculture and the organizers for taking initiative in organizing this kind of workshop for the first time. He

remarked that it was highly encouraging especially to listen to the views of the farm women and emphasized to

organize such interactions regularly. He suggested that other States should also come forward to organize such

programmes. Dr. K.D. Kokate concluded the session with his remarks that these women had made appreciable

efforts in developing innovative technologies in agriculture and agro-based industries, besides their household

duties.

Co-chairs Padam Bhushan Dr. R.S. Paroda

Rapporteurs Dr. R. K. Kashyap

Dr. R.S. Paroda, while initiating discussion, lauded Hon’ble Chief Minister, Haryana, Dr. Bhupinder

Singh Hooda for the creation of Haryana Agriculture Innovation Fund and assigning the task for the operation of

this fund to the Haryana Kisan Ayog. He said that this initiative will encourage farmers to become more creative

and have long lasting impact on revamping agriculture in the state. This fund will help innovative farmers in

various ways, particularly in getting their technologies refined and validated and put them in use by larger section

of the stakeholders. He informed the audience that the book on the “Farmers Innovators” has been translated into

Hindi by the DDG, (Agril. Extn.) Education, ICAR, New Delhi. He said that the contribution of women in

agriculture and allied fields are being brought forward and described it as just a beginning and hoped that this

would continue in future.

Plenary Session

He then invited the rapporteurs of the four sessions i.e. Crop Improvement; Livestock, Poultry &

Fisheries; Integrated Crop Management and Women in Agriculture to present their recommendations. Important

recommendations emerged out from this workshop are presented at the end of this section.

After the presentation of the recommendations of various technical sessions, Dr. Paroda requested Dr.

K.D. Kokate, DDG (Agril. Extn.), ICAR, Dr. P.L. Gautam, Chairperson, PPV&FR Authority, Govt. of India, and

Dr K. S. Khokhar, Vice Chancellor, CCSHAU & Co-Chair of the session to offer their concluding remarks.

Dr. K.D. Kokate congratulated the organizers for holding very successful two-day Workshop on Farmer-

Led Innovations. He said that good presentations and very fruitful discussions were held in various sessions and

the objectives of the workshop had been successfully achieved. He lauded the excellent presentations of the

farmers and for depicting varieties of exhibits brought by them from distant places of the country. It was an eye

opener for the policy planners and scientists and sensitized them to reorient their thinking and research

programmes to come upto the expectations of the farmers. A total of nine panelists, 24 innovators and 10 farmers

in the plenary session put forth their ideas which were not only actionable but also implementable. Dr. Kokate

emphasized that the KVKs could be used for more visible and vibrant support centres to the farmers and hoped

that a committee constituted under the chairmanship of Dr. Paroda would suggest effective ways to cater to

“Registration” and Refinement of the farmer-led innovations”. He said that Haryana should take a lead in

networking of the farm innovators district-wise where farmers should be identified in the thematic areas viz.,

rice-wheat and other farming systems/ mushroom/ honey/ organic products/ seed treatments/ bio-pesticides/ bio-

fertilizers/ natural resource management/ fisheries/ dairy/ poultry etc. Activities of NICRA village in Andhra

Pradesh were highlighted and it was emphasized that ways and means should be worked out to link them with

other villages of the district. Feedback from the innovative farmers should be a continuous process and

modalities should be worked out for their capacity building as “Certified Crop Advisors”. Dr. Kokate concluded

by emphasizing the need of transmitting the experiences of participating farmers to others for making farming

profitable and sustainable so as to ensure food security.

Dr. P.L. Gautam, complimented all the speakers for sharing their experiences and underscored that

farmer-led innovations and protection of their rights are being recognized widely. Hence, he emphasized that a

policy should be in place for protection of intellectual property rights of such Farmer- led innovations. He

informed that to protect small innovations: government is contemplating to bring a legislative mechanism.

National Innovation Foundation (NIF) has already made a beginning in this direction with registration and

verification of even, small innovations and is honoring such innovators. Dr. Gautam also mentioned about the

“Honey bee networking” of the NIF and was of the view that others should become members of this network. Dr.

Gautam underscored the need to protect the varieties of farmers and documentation of bioresources and their

associated traditional knowledge. The PPV&FR Authority will provide the needed guidance in this endeavor. He

informed that FAO has initiated the establishment of “Globally Agricultural Important Heritage Sites” and first

such site has been identified in Odisha. The practices of crop cultivation at this site should be protected as people

from across the globe shall be interested to benefit from such examples. Dr. Gautam also advocated the

development of “Centre of Excellence” at the innovative farmers’ fields and suggested that other farmers should

visit and benefit from such centres. Dr. Gautam appreciated the efforts of the Chairman, Haryana Kisan Ayog

and the Vice-Chancellor, CCSHAU for timely holding this Workshop at Hisar, Haryana.

Dr. K. S. Khokhar raised two important issues; (i) Innovations and their validation and (ii) Success stories

which could be directly adopted by other farmers. He gave the example of Mr. Chauhan of Aterna village

(Sonepat) for raising the baby corn and sweet corn and also of Mrs. Krishna Yadav for making pickle industry a

success after taking training from KVKs. Dr. Khokhar emphasized that the farmers should also make their own

Committees/SHGs for networking and offered to provide them infrastructural facilities without any charge at

CCSHAU, Hisar. He also lauded Haryana Farmer Innovations Fund announced by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of

Haryana, Dr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda. He described Dr. Paroda as the biggest innovator in the modern

agriculture of India. Dr. Khokhar also emphasized that the Visiting Professorship to farmers be implemented in

all the SAUs and announced that CCS HAU would soon start trainings for entrepreneurs and also vocational

trainings for others. He thanked the participating farmers, Haryana Kisan Ayog, ICAR, PPV&FR Authority and

NIF for making this Workshop a success.

Dr. R.S. Paroda, Chairman, Haryana Kisan

Ayog, in his concluding remarks, said that all over the

world, emphasis is being given to the agricultural

research pertaining to the farming system vis-à-vis

small land holdings and how these could be linked with

the market. Dr. Paroda emphasized that the research

agenda should be revised involving farmers in the

process. Farmers should not be at the receiving end and

the deliberations of the workshop had clearly outlined

that the farmers could give directions for future

research. He said that knowledge was power and the

purpose of this workshop was not that scientists should give new ideas to the farmers but vice-versa. Farmers

must also learn from their fellow farmers. Scientists should also understand the innovative ideas of the farmers.

He said that basic purpose of KVKs, SAUs and the Haryana Kisan Ayog is to develop policies and guidelines

which would benefit the farmers and for this purpose all the three components should repose confidence in one

another. The innovative farmers should be identified and given suitable designations so that they can interact

with the policy makers for framing the policy for them. He particularly mentioned the name of Sh. Sultan Singh

in Fisheries, Sh. Kanwal Singh Chauhan for baby corn production and Sh. Redhu in Animal Husbandry and

Dairy for the purpose. Dr. Paroda also highlighted that the vocational trainings in agriculture should be started

not only for the graduates but also for the school drop-outs. He emphasized that self-help is the best help and

there have been many examples in this workshop. He said that a good beginning has been made at CCSHAU and

such workshops would be held in each and every division/district of Haryana. A separate workshop of this kind

should also be held for women only. He also emphasized the need to strengthen the Kisan Clubs so that

knowledge can be disseminated through these Clubs which could be linked with the market. He congratulated

Dr. K.S. Khokhar, Vice-Chancellor, CCS HAU for commendable help for holding this National Workshop and

17

also lauded the contributions of Dr. S. Ayyappan, Director General, ICAR, Dr. Kokate, DDG (Agril. Extn.)

ICAR, Dr. P.L. Gautam, Chairperson, PPV&FR Authority, Dr. Anil Gupta, Vice-Chairman, NIF and Dr. N.N.

Singh, Secretary General, TAAS.

The important recommendations of the workshop are as under:

The innovative farmers need more encouragement and periodical financial support for their creativity

and therefore, Agriculture Innovation Fund/Board’ should established at State and National level to

supplement the efforts of such farmers by awards/rewards and providing monitory assistance to them.

Best example of this kind of Board already exists in the dairy sector, namely “National Dairy

Development Board (NDDB)”. (Action: SDA/ICAR)

The Hon’ble Chief Minister of Haryana has made a good beginning in this direction by announcing the

formation of “Haryana Agriculture Innovation Fund” to help in building an innovative and creative

agrarian society in the state and also to strive to make Haryana a national leader in sustainable

agricultural technologies by scouting, spawning and sustaining traditional knowledge and grassroot

innovations in agriculture. The responsibility of operating of this fund has been given to Haryana Kisan

Ayog. (Action: Haryana Kisan Ayog)

The potential farmer led innovations should be identified, validated, refined and properly documented

by the ICAR and SAUs for the benefit of farming community and other stakeholders. (Action : ICAR,

SAUs)

Innovative technologies identified in one region need to be popularized in similar eco-regions

elsewhere, through publication, documentation and dissemination of “Success Stories”. (Action :

ICAR, SAUs)

The slogan “Science with Farmers first” and blending of traditional knowledge with modern science

and technology through bottom up approach must be ensured and recognized for planning and

reorienting research and outreach programmes by the ICAR, SAUs and other organizations for

achieving the future nutritional and food security in the country. (Action : ICAR, SAUs, SDA)

There is a need to establish Technology Parks/Food Parks/Incubators for demonstration and refinement

of innovative traditional technologies. These parks should have scientific backup for further up scaling

and blending of traditional technologies with modern technologies suitably matching with the

requirement of market within and outside the country for better income opportunities. (Action : ICAR,

SAUs, SDA)

Aggressive programmes for training of rural youth, especially farm women, for post-harvest handling

and value addition of the locally available agri-products, kitchen gardening, nursery raising,

floriculture, honey-bee, mushroom production, vermi-composting, dairying, back yard poultry etc, will

help in linking rural communities to markets for generating higher income. (Action : ICAR, SAUs,

SDA)

It is necessary to set up sanitary & phyto sanitary and quality testing laboratories, preferably, in

producing zone in each region to test and certify farm products (agri products, organic foods, medicinal

plants, dairy products, forest produce, etc.) produced by the local entrepreneurs for which Government,

Private Sector and the NGOs support is critical and essential. (Action : SAUs, SDA)

The available valuable knowledge relating to medicinal uses of local herbal plants need to be gathered

and documented through appropriate incentive and reward mechanisms before the same is lost forever

or remains unknown/hidden. For further strengthening of this area, there is a need to develop processing

facilities for preparing primary products and drugs from locally available medicinal plants, especially to

treat common ailments. Also patenting and popularizing these value added products in the local markets

will benefit both the producers and the consumers. (Action : SAUs, ICAR, NBPGR, PPV&FRA)

The farmers’ knowledge must be improved about non-traditional food crops having nutritional and

medicinal values, such as Navara rice, small and minor millets and other high value low volume crops.

Government should help such farmers in their capacity building and marketing of value added products.

(Action : SAUs, ICAR, SDA)

Elite germplasm and varieties identified by the farmers should be registered with NBPGR and PPV&FR

Authority, respectively and required quantity of seeds may be deposited in the Gene Bank. The SAUs

and ICAR must help the innovative farmers with the help of State Govt. in this endeavor. (Action:

ICAR, SAUs, NBPGR, PPV&FRA)

Farms of progressive farmers should be recognized as Centres of Excellence to facilitate the visits of

other farmers. The services of farm innovators/ progressive farmers should be utilized as Professor,

Experts, Krishi Pracharak or Krishi Mitra by KVKs of ICAR and SAUs. (Action: ICAR, SAUs)

The resource conservation technologies be demonstrated and refined at RRS/KVKs and at the site of

progressive farmers. Weed management research and technologies related to DSR should be

strengthened by ICAR research institutes and SAU’s to help the rice growers. (Action: SAU/ICAR)

Good quality elite males of various indigenous breeds should be made available in the clusters of

villages in order to establish profitable dairies / goatries /piggeries. (Action: SDAH)

Scientific livestock/ poultry/fish farming, and animal production and health related technology transfer

to farmers needs to be taken up on a massive scale for increasing livestock production and productivity

in the State. (Action: SDAH; Director, Fisheries- Haryana and LLRUVAS)

The machinery/equipment required for small Dairy Farm Mechanization, primary level milk

processing and value addition should be identified, tested, multiplied and made available to needy

farmers on subsidized rate. (Action: SDAH)

Currently, scattered extension and training programmes are being organized by different government

organizations and other agencies. There is need to establish workable linkage and centralized training

complexes for women farmers and other entrepreneurs in each state. Extension approach needs to be

strengthened and reoriented to make them more women friendly. ( Action: State Govt., ICAR, SAU’s)

Policy for establishment of viable units of integrated farming system by combining need based location

specific components of crops, vegetables/flowers, tree crops, livestock, fisheries, poultry, mushroom

cultivation, vermicomposting, biogas units etc to train students, youths, women and other farmers at the

HQs, RRS and KVKs for developing required skill and entrepreneurship. (Action: CCS HAU,

LLRUVAS, ICAR and SDA).

Policy initiatives are needed to support and encourage small cooperative societies, SHGs, Farmer

companies for production and multiplication of quality seeds, planting material and establishing value

addition, processing and marketing and storage units of horticulture, dairy, fishery and other produce at

production sites to help the farmers. (Action: State Govt.)

“Gram Farming Schools” should be opened at least at Panchayat level in Haryana and other States.

(Action: State Govt.)

There is need to develop women friendly technologies and disseminating already developed

technologies with defined strategy, need-based training and financial support. In this context, the

educational tours of interested women farmers to show the units of value added agriproducts and farms

of progressive and innovative farmers should be arranged on regular basis to encourage and help them to

adopt such technologies. (Action: DAC with ATMA, SDA, DAHD, Haryana; Director, Fisheries,

Haryana, ICAR, SAU’s)

A regular mechanism for holding such workshops frequently in each state for scientist-farmer dialogue

would certainly accelerate the process of agricultural innovations and hence, be put in place at the

national level by the relevant organizations such as Division of Extension of ICAR by involving SAUs,

TAAS, NIF, Farmers’ Commission in different States etc. (Action : ICAR)

The innovations made by the farmers should also be protected for their Intellectual Property Rights

(IPR), for which SAUs/Kisan Ayog/Farmer Commissions should provide needed awareness, guidance,

technical and financial inputs. (Action : SAUs, PPV&FRA, Farmer Commission)

Agro-tourism around farmers’ innovative efforts would not only generate public awareness but will also

help in revenue generation and greater community involvement in protecting our rich biodiversity.

(Action : SAUs, SDA)

Scientists - farmers interaction may be enhanced through appropriate mechanism so as to get the

feedback for research system about the field performance of the technology as well as upscale farmer-

led innovations. (Action : ICAR, SAU)
